Starts out like a classic cliché horror game, but later develops into something much deeper and more complex. I was pleasantly surprised byStarts out like a classic cliché horror game, but later develops into something much deeper and more complex. I was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected course the game took.The atmosphere is amazing. Gave me chills and kept me on edge through the entire story without relying on cheap jumpscares. Decent voice acting and a compelling storyline that kept me going.The ending was kind of abrupt and made the whole experience feel unfinished, leaving you with insufficient clues to piece the final mystery together and thus ending as a cliffhanger.
The base idea was peculiar, and had potential. Its application is unfortunately terrible. It's really hard to get involved in the stories, due to the bad pacing and the continuous interruptions. There's worse disasters out there, but it's bad.
The story may be a bit disjointed and disorienting, but it feeds the thematic piece very well in this regard as players dive deeper into Adams’ attempts to cope with his experience.
After the slow descent of indie horror games Stairs is a ray of hope. The atmosphere is tense. Exploration, puzzles, suspense and dramatic getaways are well balanced. But the story lacks depth and I actually could do without the bugs.
A pretty solid and well presented Indie game. It has a well presented story line and makes good use of sound effects to build the tension.
